Give me year-round saving time. Being dark at 8 a.m. in December/January might suck, but I could get used to it.

I don't know, man. I was in college the year they experimented with year-round DST because of the oil shortage (1974, I think), and getting up to make an 8 a.m. history class in the dark wasn't much fun.

Getting up to make an 8 a.m. history class in the light isn't much fun either.

FB...you can never appreciate CST until you live on the East Coast. But your points stand.

I'd like to live on Pacific time for a year, maybe two, just to experience it. You know, 9 a.m. college football, 10 a.m. NFL. Silly.

It's wonderful. Many local restaurants serve brunch on NFL Sundays.

Also, when those east coast games go late, it's much less of a problem.

Sad day. I'm the biggest DST fan on the board. Darkness before 6 p.m. sucks.

I hear so many different things regarding DST. Are we going to have it all year round soon or what? I never know what to think or believe.

But yeah, darkness before 6 p.m. is terrible.

Sunset today where I am was at 4:37 p.m. By the shortest day of the year, sunrise is at 8 and sunset's at 4.

That's unacceptable.
